Josh Curran returns after serving a one-game ban he was handed in the pre-season challenge.

He replaces Harry Hayes on the pine, while Kurt Mann has once again been named despite sporting a nasty knock to his face.

Jaeman Salmon has once again been named on the bench but could be a late addition to the run on side.

Titans coach Des Hasler has sprung a shock selection move, with superstar backrower David Fifita named on the pine with Klese Haas and Beau Fermor in the back row.

Recruit Reagan Campbell-Gillard has been named in the front row alongside Moe Fotuaika, overcoming a shoulder injury which threatened his Round 1 appearance.

Tino Fa’asuamaleaui returns for the first time since rupturing his ACL in Round 3 of the 2024 season, AJ Brimson and Jayden Campbell partner in the halves.

Meanwhile former Rabbitohs forward Brock Gray makes his debut off the bench in what completes a lengthy apprenticeship in reserve grade.

The 28-year-old took the leap and joined the Titans on a train-and-trial deal ahead of the 2025 season, clearly impressing enough to leapfrog a host of forwards for a spot on the pine.

Gray already has 129 NSW Cup games under his belt, and was expecting to play for Tweed Heads to start his 2025 campaign.

But instead, he will line-up alongside a host of big-name stars in what is an impressive forward pack.

The forward is also the brother of former Rabbitohs gun Aaron Gray who played 42 games for the Rabbitohs and Sharks between 2015 and 2019.

“It’s definitely the hottest pre-season I’ve endured so far but I’m slowly getting used to it,” Gray told titans.com.au in pre-season.

“Training under Des (Hasler) has been such a tough but rewarding experience … he’s a great coach and I’m learning so much from him and the senior boys in that forward pack.

“It’s just been great getting to know all the boys and training alongside side such world-class players.”
